Graphics::Primitive::Font(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			    Graphics::Primitive::Font(3pm)

NAME

       Graphics::Primitive::Font - Text styling

DESCRIPTION

       Graphics::Primitive::Font represents the various options that are available when rendering text.  The options here may or may not have an
       effect on your rendering.  They represent a cross-section of the features provided by various drivers.  Setting them should not break
       anything, but may not have an effect if the driver doesn't understand the option.

SYNOPSIS

	 use Graphics::Primitive::Font;

	 my $font = Graphics::Primitive::Font->new({
	   family => 'Arial',
	   size => 12,
	   slant => 'normal'
	 });

METHODS

   Constructor
Attributes
   antialias_modes
       Set the antialiasing mode for this font. Possible values are default, none, gray and subpixel.

   family
       Set this font's family.

   hint_metrics
       Controls whether to hint font metrics.  Hinting means quantizing them so that they are integer values in device space.  This improves the
       consistency of letter and line spacing, however it also means that text will be laid out differently at different zoom factors.	May not be
       supported by all drivers.

   hint_style
       Set the the type of hinting to do on font outlines.  Hinting is the process of fitting outlines to the pixel grid in order to improve the
       appearance of the result. Since hinting outlines involves distorting them, it also reduces the faithfulness to the original outline shapes.
       Not all of the outline hinting styles are supported by all drivers.  Options are default, none, slight, medium and full.

   size
       Set/Get the size of this font.

   slant
       Set/Get the slant of this font.	Valid values are normal, italic and oblique.

   subpixel_order
       Set the order of color elements within each pixel on the display device when rendering with subpixel antialiasing.  Value values are
       default, rgb, bgr, vrgb and vbgr.

   variant
       Set/Get the variant of this font.  Valid values are normal or small-caps.

   weight
       Set/Get the weight of this font.  Value valies are normal and bold.

METHODS

   new
       Creates a new Graphics::Primitive::Font.

   derive
       Clone this font but change one or more of it's attributes by passing in a hashref of options:

	 my $new = $font->derive({ attr => $newvalue });

       The returned font will be identical to the cloned one, save the attributes specified.

NAME

       Graphics::Primitive::Border - Line around components

DESCRIPTION

       Graphics::Primitive::Border describes the border to be rendered around a component.

SYNOPSIS

	 use Graphics::Primitive::Border;

	 my $border = Graphics::Primitive::Border->new;

METHODS

   new
       Creates a new Graphics::Primitiver::Border.  Borders are composed of 4 brushes, one for each of the 4 sides.  See the documentation for
       Graphics::Primitive::Brush for more information.  Note that you can provide a "width" and "color" argument to the constructor and it will
       create brushes of that width for each side.

   bottom
       The brush representing the bottom border.

   clone
       Close this border.

   color
       Set the Color on all 4 borders to the one supplied.  Shortcut for setting it with each side.

   dash_pattern
       Set the dash pattern on all 4 borders to the one supplied. Shortcut for setting it with each side.

   equal_to ($other)
       Returns 1 if this border is equal to the one provided, else returns 0.

   homogeneous
       Returns 1 if all of this border's sides are the same.  Allows for driver optimizations.

   left
       The brush representing the left border.

   not_equal_to
       Opposite of "equal_to".

   right
       The brush representing the right border.

   top
       The brush representing the top border.

   width
       Set the width on all 4 borders to the one supplied.  Shortcut for setting it with each side.
